  How much does a housewife cost?

  by LtCmd.Lore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  don't take this the wrong way, this is purely out of curiousity.. .

  assuming you are the working man who makes the money, and the wife stays at home and takes care of the house and cooks and does laundry and all that stuff.. no children!.

  how much would it cost to hire someone(s) to do all those things instead?

  I am trying to understand my cat

  by Fisherman in

  2. friends

  like i said on a previous thread, this is my first cat.

  this cat always follows me around and demands to be petted all of the time.

  he wants to be carried all of the time.

  Other than pet it do you play with your cat? Maybe get one of those mouse on a stick toys, or just a string, or a laser pointer. Laser pointers drive cats bonkers. Just don't use your hand so it doesn't think your hand is something to pounce on when you're not playing. This will probably put a damper on him attacking your leg.

  Is the world really getting worse?

  by Wordly Andre in

  i don't have to tell you how jw's use the line about how the world is just getting worse and it's a sign that we are in the end times.

  what is your thought on the world?

  is it really getting worse, or does every generation say that?

  It's worse in the sense that there are more of us to cause trouble, and we can cause trouble much more efficiently for ourselves and the environment. I don't think there's anything mysterious or mystical about it.

  John 1:1, I can't remember the particulars, but I think the jest of it is that it was altered somewhat to make it seem less trinitarian? And that Johannes Grebbles(?) some spiritist was consulted, or had a part in the translation and alteration of John 1:1.

  NEW CAR FOR BUBBLE

  by south african beef in

  2. friends

  bubble and i are off to choose a new car for her tomorrow.. we won't get it tomorrow as she wants the new '08 plate but we have to decide soon.. the choice is either a vw golf 1.6tsi match or a fiat grande punto 1.4dynamic sport - which shall we go for?.

  the glof we would probably have to buy on personal contract hire but the punto we buy outright.

  she has a punto now.. i know the golf has a good reputation for reliability but it's a bit dull!

  Worms becoming a problem

  by sammielee24 in

  worms infect more poor in u.s. than thoughtmany carry same parasitic infections that affect developing nations updated 6:45 a.m.

  pt,wed., dec. 26, 2007washington - roundworms may infect close to a quarter of inner city black children, tapeworms are the leading cause of seizures among u.s. hispanics and other parasitic diseases associated with poor countries are also affecting americans, a u.s. expert said on tuesday.. recent studies show many of the poorest americans living in the united states carry some of the same parasitic infections that affect the poor in africa, asia, and latin america, said dr. peter hotez, a tropical disease expert at george washington university and editor-in-chief of the public library of science journal plos neglected tropical diseases.. writing in the journal, hotez said these parasitic infections had been ignored by most health experts in the united states.. story continues below ?i feel strongly that this is such an important health issue and yet because it only affects the poor it has been ignored, hotez said via e-mail.. he said the united states spent hundreds of millions of dollars to defend against bio-terrorism threats like anthrax or smallpox or avian flu, which were more a theoretical concern than a real threat at present.. and yet we have a devastating parasitic disease burden among the american poor, right under our nose, hotez said.. roundworms link to asthma.

  he noted a recent study by the centers for disease control and prevention, presented in november, found that almost 14 percent of the u.s. population is infected with toxocara roundworms, which dogs and cats can pass to people.. urban playgrounds in the united states have recently been shown to be a particularly rich source of toxocara eggs and inner-city children are at high risk of acquiring the infection, hotez wrote, adding that this might be partly behind the rise in asthma cases in the country.
